A.A.97
Think I’m done with bar food, onion rings, etc. Can’t disgest like I use to. Have resorted to the old man’s method of relief by drinking a coke and expelling all that is bad from inside me.

Interestingly, most were middling players struggling to be noticed on very poor teams.
Today we salute you
Whitey Herzog- Kansas City Athletics
Dick Williams- Kansas City Athletics
Harvey Kuenn- Cleveland Indians
Al Dark- Philadelphia Phillies
Dallas Green- Philadelphia Phillies
Red Schoendienst- Milwaukee Braves

Can’t remember if I added this before or not (scary). Over past few months watched The Godfather I & II, Cool Hand Luke, and Butch Cassidy & Sundance Kid on the big screen at the movie house. I hope the streaming generations doesn’t lead to these experiences. I feel like I missed out by being exposed to those movies on television.
